Allyson, on ita's deadliness:
Don't be ridiculous. She can incapacitate you with her thumb, (I know, she used me as an example for that trick) but then she kills you with the knuckle of her index finger.
Mal: There's plenty orders of mine that she didn't obey. Wash: Name one! Mal: She married you!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

To me, calling Pullman anvilly is a bit like calling "The Anvil Chorus" anvilly...I mean, sure, it's anvilly as hell, but it's a big old-fashioned religious allegory; they can't not be anvilly! Paradise Lost? Anvilly! Pilgrim's Progress? Anvils out the ass!

If it wasn't for the beer and the porn, being a grown-up would really just suck.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Whereas, thanks to the beer and the porn, being a grown up is really just sucking. Which is a whole other thing.

And what's with People naming Alan Rickman as sexy-but-not-for-any-reason-we-can-figure-out? Because, duh, he's smart, he's British, he oozes sexy. Still, this is a magazine that had a section for sexy action heros and mentions not a single member of the Fellowship.

Stupid people.
It is not at all surprising that Alan Rickman is sexy, but it is beyond belief that they named Ben Affleck sexiest man alive!!!

Maybe that should have been: Stupid People

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

Michael Rosenbaum has a very, very dangerous power, and it's unfortunate that he's usually the shining cocksickle beacon of all that's good and sexy in a steaming pile of crapulence.

I can't believe we're trying to attribute any logic or depth to the dating habits of teenage boys.

In Natter 4 - context - complaints about giving medical history over phone in order to book a doctor's appointment (and I'm only COMMing my own post for context)
According to dh, going through this process in cubicle-ville is why he hasn't yet booked the vasectomy that he had the pre-surgical check up for, over 2 years ago. I'm dubious. However, he is more committed to the "no more spawn" partly line than I am.

I'm happily stuck in the glam rock era of glitter, when glam was glam and men were space aliens and going down on your guitarist on stage really meant something!

Phoenix is relatively easy to get out of (if you are not me, that is). Maybe that is some reflection of how much people want to leave a one- Buffista town.
